| |  | | | In Brief
A classic work of travel literature.
| | | | From The Publisher
In 1849, and again in 1852, the celebrated art critic John Ruskin took his young wife Effie to Venice. While he was busy writing books that were to define the Victorian ideal, Effie explored Venice with growing freedom and independence of thought. Her letters home, discovered and edited by biographer Mary Lutyens, are an enchanting evocation of a special moment in the history of Venice as well as the history of art. Effie Gray was born in 1828 and married John Ruskin when she was nineteen. Their brief marriage was to end in divorce for non–consummation, but not before they had twice traveled to Venice. Effie absconded in 1850, jumping off a train, eventually marrying artist John Everett Millais. She died in 1897.
